Xtra Time Web Desk : Former Australia pacer Brett Lee has recently opined against the term 'Workload management' stating that he thinks pacers should play every game. In recent times the hectic schedule, bubble life amid the COVID-19 pandemic has also taken a toll on cricketers, forcing them to switch off from the game.

"I'm against the whole resting rule. I don't like bowlers resting, I like bowlers to play each and every single game," Lee told PTI in an exclusive interaction on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket here.

Mohammad Shami did not play the white ball series against South Africa in which India were routed 0-3 by an under-strength South Africa. The selectors have also "rested" the Indian pace duo of Shami and Jasprit Bumrah for the upcoming home series against the West Indies, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is.

But the former Aussie speed gun maintained his stance and said a pacer should be rested only if he has a niggle.

"If they are struggling with an injury then it's fair enough. But what I want to see is pace bowlers, doing all the hard work and playing day in and day out," added Lee.
